Summary
Jewett Elementary School is a K–5 school in Central Point School District 6 serving 607 students, making it the largest elementary school in its immediate comparison group in southern Oregon's Central Point–Medford area. It ranked 573rd of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2025–2026 (19th percentile, 1 star), placing it in the bottom quarter statewide, while its district ranked 85th of 141. Its rank history shows a long decline and uneven recovery: the 46th percentile in 2015–2016, a drop to the 9th percentile in 2021–2022, then the 16th, 17th, 28th, and 19th percentiles in the years since.
Attendance is Jewett's clearest strength. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% in 2024–2025 is the lowest among all nearby schools — well below Richardson Elementary School (24.6%), Central Point Elementary School (27.5%), and Wilson Elementary School (40.2%) — and far better than the district's 33.9% and the state's 33.5%. About 79.57% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch, similar to Central Point Elementary (80.09%) and Richardson (78.8%), and per-student spending was $16,066, less than several nearby schools. The student–teacher ratio is 20.2.
Academically, Jewett trails most peers. Its 2025–2026 OSAS all-grade proficiency rates are 33.9% in English language arts, 22.3% in math, and 12% in science, compared with district rates of 41.2%, 26.1%, and 27.6%. Science is the biggest red flag: only Madrone Trail Public Charter School (11.6%) is lower nearby, while Kennedy Elementary School reaches 35.2%. Math clusters around 21–23% across grades 3–5, below district and state in every tested grade. Notably, Central Point Elementary and Richardson serve similar free/reduced-lunch populations, have worse attendance, and still outperform Jewett in all three subjects. Rankings measuring how well the school serves specific student groups are mostly below the state median, with declines for Hispanic students, English language learner students, and low-income students. The highest-leverage improvement areas appear to be science instruction, math, and targeted support for those groups.
